Wow! Great idea! Would be perfect with the new Canon 5D Mark iii!

very cool. cant wait to see how it performs and how much cash they want.

My thoughts exactly. Cost? How well does it compare to a "real" follow focus?

Also, can they make an adapter that would work with Canon glass on non-Canon DSLRs? (AF100, FS100, etc.)

This makes me wonder why the "Okii" usb follow focus system never really took off. I thought it was a great idea...

T'would be nice if it worked with the C300, too.

My bet on cost is an arm and a leg.
